That would have been a moronic rule to pass.

Hey, if they pasted the rule it would of solved our offensive problems because I doubt we would ever need the Offense on the field anyway.

Absolutely, that would have been a bad decision. I'm not crazy about the no force out rule, but this would have been even worse.

Yep, and it also gave us pretty good field position on kickoffs as well. I heard on the radio one day that the Bears opponents have averaged the shortest yards per kickoff in NFL history.

Wow its really amazing, thats a real game changing thing having hester back there. Now we just need an offense that can just ocassionally take advantage of fantastic field position.
